Fairytale Fridays

A little while ago I posted about my new monthly fairytale meme and now I'm back to announce that the first Fairytale Fridays will take place on Friday 24th April! I'd love it it you'd join in on (or around) this date and come back here on 24th and link up your posts and share the fairytale love. You can write about anything fairytale related - original tales, movies, retellings, experiences, anything. As long as it's fairytale, it's ok. 

In case you'd like some prompting, I've got a list of topics you can write about. If you're like me and have a little bit of an obsession I'm sure you won't need any encouragement to jump right in and write about whatever you're currently reading, watching or talking about, but just in case you're on the fence and would love to take part but are stuck for ideas, here's some inspiration. I've not assigned dates to them so just feel free to use the list as reference and use whichever prompt whenever you feel inspired! 

I'll be back every month on the last Friday of the month and you'll be able to link up your posts then. Please also feel free to borrow the image I've made for it or make your own and spread the word! The more the merrier!
